RAQ4i + Mailscanner Strangeness

I cannot find it.  Isn't this a fairly serious issue?  Seems like everytime
a site name or DNS is changed or added the RAQ stops scanning for viruses or
for that matter delivering email.  No one else has a serious problem with
this?  Our new policy is to reboot the server after any change. ;<(
